Ingredients You’ll Need

12 Double Stuffed Oreos: The crunchy chocolate exterior and creamy filling are ideal for our witch hats, providing both texture and volume.
1/2 cup Chocolate Chips, Melted: Choose semi-sweet or dark chocolate for a richer taste. This chocolate serves as the adhesive and adds delicious depth to the cookies.
12 Hershey Kisses: The classic chocolate kiss forms the hat top. You can use different varieties, like caramel-filled Kisses, for a twist!
Halloween Sprinkles: These add a festive touch and come in various shapes and colors. Feel free to substitute with any sprinkles you have on hand, too!

How to Make Oreo Witch Hat Cookies

Prepare Your Workspace: Lay down parchment paper on your countertop for easy cleanup and to keep the cookies from sticking.
Melt the Chocolate: Place 1/2 cup of chocolate chips in a bowl. Melt them in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is smooth and creamy. This method helps prevent burning!
Dunk the Oreos: Take one side of a Double Stuffed Oreo and dunk it into the melted chocolate. Ensure it’s coated but not overly drippy, then set it on the prepared parchment paper.
Add the Hat: Unwrap a Hershey Kiss and press it gently into the center of the chocolate-coated Oreo. This will create the perfect witch hat look.
Sprinkle Magic: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle generously with Halloween sprinkles, covering the edges for a colorful, festive finish.

Storing & Reheating

Store your Oreo Witch Hat Cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days. If you want them to last longer, you can refrigerate them for about a week; just be sure to keep them sealed tight to prevent the Oreos from becoming too soft. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to three months. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, let them thaw at room temperature. The texture might be slightly different, but the flavor will remain delightful!

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Avoid letting the chocolate cool too much before dipping; it should be warm enough to adhere but not so hot that it melts the Oreo.
If the melted chocolate starts to harden, reheat it briefly in the microwave.
For a fun twist, try adding a different flavored chocolate chip, like peanut butter or white chocolate.
If you don’t have sprinkles, crushed nuts or edible glitter can provide a unique look and flavor!

These Oreo Witch Hat Cookies are a fantastic treat that combines ease and festive fun. They’re perfect for sharing, so don’t hesitate to make a double batch. Even if Halloween is over, these cookies can be enjoyed year-round by simply changing the sprinkles to match any occasion!

Recipe FAQs

Can I use regular Oreos instead of Double Stuffed?

Absolutely! Regular Oreos will work just fine, though you may find the filling is less abundant. Feel free to enhance the cookie with a bit more melted chocolate as they won’t have quite the same richness.

How do I store leftover cookies?

Store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days. If you refrigerate them, they’ll last about a week; just ensure they are well-sealed to keep their texture.

Can I make these cookies in advance?

Certainly! You can prepare the cookies a day or two ahead of time. Just save the sprinkles until you’re ready to serve, as they may lose their crunch if made too far in advance.

What other toppings can I use?

Get creative! You can use chocolate drizzle, different candy pieces, or even alternate some sprinkles for themes like Thanksgiving. The possibilities are endless, allowing you to personalize these cookies for any occasion.
